The Susanne

When M and I were in London we met L’s sister Sophie. She’s such a lovely person, inside and out: having gradu­ated uni about a year ago she’s work­ing full time and also — and here’s what makes her so spe­cial — work­ing to raise aware­ness and money for Break­through Breast Cancer! She just amazes me. She’s only 23 and is ded­ic­at­ing her­self so thor­oughly to a cause such as breast cancer. I only wish I could do some­thing as worthwhile!

So basic­ally what she’s doing is she’s set her­self some pretty incred­ible chal­lenges such as the Three Peaks Chal­lenge which she’s already com­pleted. It involved climb­ing the three highest peaks in the UK within 24 hours! I am simply in awe of that girl. Her next chal­lenge is The Kin­abalu Chal­lenge which is a race through the jungle in Borneo to the summit of Mount Kin­abalu. Ima­gine 35 degree heat and 95% humid­ity. You have to be in pretty excel­lent shape to even attempt this, and she is! She’s been train­ing for this for a long time and if you take a look at her blog you’ll be able to check out her fit­ness res­ults as well as keep track of what she’s up to.

My reason for writ­ing this is of course to spread the word about Sophie. I just think that what she is doing is so amaz­ing, so inspir­ing, that I want as many people as pos­sible to know about it and spon­sor her! It doesn’t have to be much, every little penny counts and this is cer­tainly a worthy cause, don’t you think? Here’s her Just­giv­ing page if you want to take a closer look!
